Description
Commune.1 is pleased to announce the upcoming solo exhibition of Olivi� Keck featuring embroidered and printed works on fabric and ceramics. In this exhibition, the artist presents a quiet and personal enquiry into the phenomenology of sleep and dying and the related subjects of loss, fear, memory and dreams. The act of sleep and the stillness achieved through deep forms of physical meditation are explored as preparation states of body and mind in its final coming to rest. Dreams too play a role in this comparison, where fleeting experiences of a different state of consciousness, the depths of our being or with those who have passed away become possible. An experience made all the more poignant through a sense of limited access.
These themes are explored using multiple techniques including quilting, embroidery, printmaking and ceramics.

Venue
Description
Founded in 2011, Commune.1�s main gallery is dedicated to large-scale installation and sculpture. It is one of the few spaces in the country that offers a platform for artists interested in creating immersive environments with gallery-spanning art. By doing this it aims to expose new and established audiences to art �experiences� rather than the more traditional modes associated with commercial art galleries.
